Museo civico ornitologico "G. A. Carlotto"
The ornithological collection on display in the castle was created by the ornithologist Gustavo Adolfo Carlotto in the early twentieth century and purchased by the Town Hall of Lonato del Garda in 1979.
The seven hundred exemplars almost completely represent the Italian birdlife and their extremely good state of conservation is due to the intervention of Marco Gianese, a famous taxidermist, who dedicated himself to embalming them.
The exemplars on display are grouped into twelve showcases, according to the environment they belong to: woods, mountain, high mountain, Mediterranean environment, humid salty environment, rural areas, urban areas, migratory birds of Lake Garda.
